Your view or what you think to be true about Dabo Swinney is completely wrong.
Dabo is a man with great character.... he’s absolutely sincere and nothing about him is fake. I’ve met him several times and one time in particular years ago he talked with me in a grocery store like I was someone he knew for many years. He walks the walk.
Now.... Clemson most certainly respects Ohio state, always has...but a few things that really rub us the wrong way is how they look down on everyone else, not just us... everyone. You guys act as if you created the game. Ohio State has history and we respect it, but don’t act like we’re beneath you because we’re not. If you took the time you could do some research and see Clemson has a storied history with great traditions. We truly are like family here... and yes we have done extremely well in football over the last decade, but even if we didn’t we’re still worthy and deserve respect from others.
The game this week will be exciting and we hope and pray for safe travels and player safety... but if you think you’re going to win because you hate Dabo Swinney, feel disrespected by his ranking or think revenge is on your side you will sadly be letdown again..... because when the game starts Friday none of that will matter, the only thing that will matter is can you matchup... and the quick and honest answer is no.
